Bin & Cue files

[DIPESH14]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with a little problem.. I've downloaded Reason (music software) and the 3 different folders all contain .bin and.cue files. However I cant burn these to disc as I only have a CD-RW drive and the files are too large. Is there anyway of running the files without burning? Thanks in advance.

not sure I understand the problem really - how big are th bin/cue files. You should burn each bin/cue set using Nero or other burning app to give you 3 cd's.

otherwise use daemon tools to mount and run, or winiso to extract to your pc.

There are three different bin/cue files in each folder and they are all about 752MB which I cant fit on a CD. I also dont have Nero as it doesnt work on my computer. How can I use Daemon? Cheers mate

A bin file can often be larger than the disc space needed to burn it to, try burning one with whatever burning program you usually use, alternatively download and install Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=Download&id=34) it's freeware and will enable you to create a virtual rom drive on which you can mount the cue/bin image.

Ive tried burning it but the file is definitely larger then the space on a blank CD. I think I'm gonna give Daemon A try. Cheers.

Try DVD Decrypter to burn - a free d/l here:- www.dvddecrypter.com (http://www.dvddecrypter.com/)

Hey Lazza, Ive got DVD Decryptor but the files still to big to burn. Can I use it to still run the bin/cuefiles?

BIN/CUE files are normally CD or DVD images. If these files are images of video CDs, chances are they can be burned onto CDRs even though they are 700+MB. Burn them to CDRs using Burn CD Image mode. If the files are too big, the burnware will tell you right away and refuses to burn. If your burnware doesn't support BIN/CUE, you can convert the files to the standard ISO format with ISOBuster (http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/) or UltraISO (http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/). Any good burnware can burn ISO images easily.

Can I use it to still run the bin/cuefiles?

Nope, but as stated previously, Daemon Tools will allow you to do this by mounting the image onto a "Virtual Drive". You can then run or burn it off of this.
